Doctor Who: The Drostens Curse
Doctor Who: The Drostens Curse | A.L. Kennedy
17 posts | 6 read | 8 to read
Isnt life terrible? Isnt it all going to end in tears? Wont it be good to just give up and let something else run my mind, my life? Something distinctly odd is going on in Arbroath. It could be to do with golfers being dragged down into the bunkers at the Fetch Brothers Golf Spa Hotel, never to be seen again. It might be related to the strange twin grandchildren of the equally strange Mrs Fetch owner of the hotel and fascinated with octopuses. It could be the fact that people in the surrounding area suddenly know what others are thinking, without anyone saying a word. Whatever it is, the Doctor is most at home when faced with the distinctly odd. With the help of Fetch Brothers' Junior Receptionist Bryony, hell get to the bottom of things. Just so long as he does so in time to save Bryony from quite literally losing her mind, and the entire world from destruction. Because something huge, ancient and alien lies hidden beneath the ground and its starting to wake up...

Strange and potentially universe shattering things are afoot at the Fetch Golf Spa in '70s Scotland, so the Fourth Doctor is on the job, joined by a feisty receptionist and the meek alien bounty hunter with a crush on her. The author nails the playful and serious sides of Baker's Doctor, but the real villain commanding the evil force gets zero development other than "rude American teen". The Douglas Adams style humor saves the day in the end.

Not many folks came in to work today. In other news, I'm going to quit messing around and take a serious chunk out of this book this evening.

I'm enjoying the wacky oh-so-Douglas-Adamsy tone of this one, but the combination of an under-the-weather wife and a two-year-old means I'm moving through it at a crawl.

Since the big 50th Anniversary in 2013, I've read a Doctor Who novel every November. This year it's time for the 4th Doctor.

I am a big Doctor Who fan. This book features the Fourth Doctor. The author really captured the essence of the Doctor. The heroine of the story, Bryony, meshes well into the Doctor's world. The twins, Xavier and Honor, add a creepy element. They could have left out Zandor's backstory though.

StaceyKondla The Fourth Doctor is the BEST Doctor! ❤️❤️ 8y

JessKH I love the Doctor Who books but haven't read any of the classic doctors. I've been reading my way through the Hubby's collection and he's a modern fan. I think I'll have to add this to his shopping list! 8y

Happy Doctor Whosday!

This book totally captures the funny, bonkers, sly-like-a-fox Fourth Doctor of the Douglas Adams era. The problem is it's set much earlier in Tom Baker's run, which works against it. But the story is okay and Bryony makes a good companion. Decent Past Doctor book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

It's bigger on the inside. (Guess that goes for most books, but especially this one.)
